i have this placement. it's a very difficult place to have your moon in. i constantly struggle with guilt over things that i've done in my past which leads me to feel undeserving of kindness, regardless if my guilt is warranted or not. over the years, i've built elaborate emotional defenses that circumstance has pushed me to create and sometimes, i don't know how to even get through to myself.

emotions are difficult because they come on so strongly that i don't understand what i'm feeling or where it is coming from. that is why i need a lot of time to myself to sort myself out. i hate to be prodded, unless i believe that you are truly concerned about me, even then it is okay sometimes. but it's best to leave yourself available to listen with an open heart when i'm ready. pushing me to talk about how i'm feeling at the moment only makes me agitated because i need time to understand how i am feeling. i know that this sounds unfair to some who want to know where they stand now, but trust me, i need to introspect as emotions can overwhelm me.

you can never go wrong with being honest. you will, at the very least, earn respect for speaking from the heart. in exchange, i will do the same. do not manipulate, or come off that way. we are paranoid souls. unfortunately, i can't tell you how to work around that except to stick it out and stay true.

i would say tread carefully with people that have scorpio moons. they have many defenses and deep insecurities, even ones that are not known to themselves. i find that it takes a person with a lot of emotional honesty and awareness to integrate this moon into their lives without destroying others' lives and theirs in the process.

I don't think you can say one moon sign, or planet in a sign is categorically good or bad tho' they will share some basic tendencies. Some folks who look "good on paper" or even have a ton of beneficial aspects can turn out to be surprisingly messed up and vice versa. We're all a bunch of potentials. You have to look at the real person, how they're showing up and also how they connect with you.

With that said, there are some patterns and traits I'm starting to recognize but as for how it plays out - it depends on the person's level of emotional and spiritual development and also their ability/willingness work on themselves.

If you're interested in moon qualities & compatibility, you all might enjoy looking into Vedic Astrology and their interpretation of the nakshatras or "lunar mansions" which they divide up by degree. Vedic astrology bases everything off the moon (esp. for compatibility) & they back everything up about 23 degrees.

For instance, not all Western sign Scorpio Moons are built the same, some are in Swati (approx 28 Libra - 13 Scorpio Western) some are in a different lunar placement called Vishaka (13 Scorp - 26 Scorp) with last part of Scorpio being in Anuradha and they are all very different w/ different compatibilities among the zodiac. Under Vedic interpretations, you can see how something you would consider trine in the Western system might actually not be that compatible due to other aspects. I'm Swati and whenever I meet another Swati moon, Sun or ASC (which is rare) I recognize them instantly, it's so distinctive. ;}

It will pass. If you guys are having issues - never let your emotions get out of hand. You gotta control yourself and approach it rationally. They don't mind if you have emotions - but they like to know you are strong enough to have some control over them. Be always honest with them, because they will figure out eventually. No point lying. Let yourself be vulnerable - but again, take control of your vulnerability. They need to know you can take care of yourself - that you don't need them, but you WANT them.

I've never found Scorpio moons to be dark personally. Usually they have pretty outgoing personalities, they simply have a lot hidden behind that. Yeah, they can be moody too, but this usually passes too.

^ I agree

I know some Scorp mooners. Honestly, while they sometimes are intimidating, I love their hidden sensitivity and depth. I have a Cancer moon myself, though, so I may be biased. I do get along with water moons, Pisces being my favorite. As a moody and intense person myself, I feel like they (Scorp moons) don't judge me because they are intense too, and they don't see intensity as a bad thing.

--I have a Cancer moon too, and I don't have any issue with Scorpio moons.

Yes, they can be intimidating, but personally, the transformation that I've experienced with them has been for the better--has made me a better and stronger person.

Granted, a very unhealthy Scorpio mooner would be a nightmare, but the healthy ones, while dark and complex, have a lot of beauty. It's not the typical "ooh sunshine and daisies and smiles", conventional, bright-colored beauty. It's more subtle, but it is just as beautiful.

YESSS totally. Like a soulful, I've-been-through-the-fire kind of wisdom, compassion and strength. We're as tough and strong-willed as we are vulnerable and sensitive, I feel. It's like a dual expression of emotional strength, both resourcefulness and high sensitivity.

I also do agree that Scorpio Moons, no matter how evolved, will always (and should) be able to tap into that dark side. Because that's what Scorpio is about. But, the important difference is whether the Scorpio Moon can trasmute this dark energy into something positive or let it destroy them and/or others.
